Health officials in Gaza say Israel has attacked the Al-Awda and the Kamal Adwan hospitals in northern Gaza, while forcing wounded and sick patients to leave the Indonesian Hospital, in the latest assaults on Gaza’s devastated health system. Israeli artillery shelled the third floor of the Al-Awda Hospital, while Israel detonated remote-controlled explosives just outside the Kamal Adwan, which is barely functioning after repeated Israeli attacks. This is Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan, speaking on Al Jazeera.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya: “Just now one of the explosives planted by the Israeli army detonated. It caused a shock wave that shattered the hospital doors and windows on the west side. It also injured some of the patients and the very few medical staff left at the hospital. Roughly 20 people were hurt. A second, stronger explosion followed. It caused massive damage to the hospital’s west wing, and more patients were injured. The entire west wing’s doors and windows were all smashed, and the false ceiling collapsed.”

At the United Nations, officials decried Israel’s attacks on Gaza’s health system.

Stéphanie Tremblay: “The director-general of the World Health Organization said that the reports of bombardment near Kamal Adwan Hospital and orders to evacuate the hospital are deeply worrisome, adding that the hospital has been in the middle of fighting for too long and the lives of patients are at risk. OCHA reiterates that civilians and civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, must be protected.”

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has publicly confirmed for the first time that Israel was behind the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July. Katz made the comment as he threatened to target the heads of the Houthi movement in Yemen,

Israel Katz: “We will damage its strategic infrastructure, and we will behead its leaders. Just as we did to Haniyeh, Sinwar and Nasrallah in Tehran, Gaza and Lebanon, we will do it in Hodeidah and Sana’a. Whoever will raise his hand to Israel, his hand will be severed. The IDF’s long arm will harm him and will settle the score.”

In recent days the United States and Israel have both bombed targets in Yemen, while Houthi forces fired a rocket at Tel Aviv that injured 16 people.

Greenland is not for sale.

In Havana, Cuba, a massive protest was held outside the U.S. Embassy Friday to denounce U.S. sanctions which have been in place since 1962. Former Cuban President Raúl Castro, who is now 93, took part in the protest. He said the U.S. sanctions had made 2024 “one of the most difficult” years for Cuba. Other Cubans taking part in the protest said they feared Donald Trump will make life even harder for Cubans.

Ambar Rivero: “We are here, just as we were 20 years ago with our Commander in Chief Fidel Castro at the front, to condemn the genocidal blockade that our people have suffered for more than 66 years, and also the inclusion of Cuba on the list of terrorist states. We are not a terrorist state. The coming of President Trump next January also foresees extreme measures against Cuba. And that is why we are here, to condemn any coercive act against the people of Cuba.”

The House Ethics Committee released its investigation Monday into former Republican Representative Matt Gaetz, whom Trump had picked to be his attorney general before the Florida politician withdrew from consideration.

The report was released Monday despite a last-ditch effort by Gaetz to block its release. We will have more on this story later in the show

In Northern California, more than 500 residents have joined a class-action lawsuit in an effort to block future U.S. military aid to Israel over Gaza. The lawsuit targets Democratic Congressmembers Jared Huffman and Mike Thompson. The lawsuit was filed by the group Taxpayers Against Genocide. Seth Donnelly is the group’s lead organizer.

Seth Donnelly: “We want to go to where the source is. It controls our tax dollars. And that’s Congress. They have power of the purse. And our two reps in the House voted — and that’s Mike Thompson for some of the counties, and the other one is Jared Huffman for the other counties. They both voted on April 20th to send $26 billion more in military aid to Israel. And by that point, the evidence of genocide was overwhelming.”
